'Knife in the Water' is next in Sunday night film series

This Sunday, November 18, the Waynne County Arts Alliance will host the film screening of "Knife in the Water."

The presentation will begin at 8:15 p.m. at Cinema 6 in the Route 6 Plaza.

Taut, compelling, and engaging, Roman Polanski’s Oscar-nominated "Knife in The Water" is one of the most brilliant director debuts in film. The narrative of the film involves a mid-age couple driving along a deserted road to the sea. The couple almost run over a young hitchhiker. With patronizing good will, the husband invites him to come sailing on their boat. The sailboat becomes an ideal setting for the sardonic worldview as battle of personalities and sexual tensions build slowly and subtly.

Throughout the film acting, music and camerawork all weave together to create an unexpectedly magical, brilliantly crafted, disturbing yet sensuous experience. The film is 94 minutes and is unrated.

Cinema 6 is located in the Route 6 Plaza, next to Pizza Hut, just outside Honesdale. A donation of $5.00 per person is suggested, to help support the activities of the Arts Alliance. The film will be preceded by a short introduction and followed by a discussion.
